Familiarity is repackaged as mystery as if trying to recall a dream the vividness of which is all that remains. With an anthropologists eye we might scrutinise the artefact as if of an older civilisation whilst our own humanity begins to emerge from it.

The chalky white-blue surface with patches of yellow has a lunar quality to it allied to the ligthly and irregularly pitted surface. The suggestion of infant bipedalism at the base and arms at the compressed abdomen alternates in the imagination with the image of a coastal cave formed over aeons of erosive time. The strong central column adds the feel of a monument. A monolith in transition.

The surface has a worn, semi-organic feel like that of an elephant skin. The ruptures at the sides and the top are more like fissures than orifices. Perhaps formed by amputation or again erosive action but restricted in aperture to suggest some constriction of flow both in and out of the vessel.

This sculpture combines a whimsical and figurative tenor with a tincture of melancholy.

Part of a group exhibition '(Un)spoken' at 67 York Street Gallery, London curated by Qloud Collective from 13 to 14 June.
